Government Regulations

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the fol-

lowing two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference

that may cause undesirable operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a

class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are

designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a

residential installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio fre-

quency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction

manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,

there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installa-

tion. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television,

which can be determined by turning the equipment OFF and ON, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following

measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which

the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.

Remote Controls

To satisfy FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, this device should be

used in hand-held, hand operated conﬁgurations only. The device and its an-

tenna must maintain a separation distance of 20 cm or more from the person’s

body, except for the hand and wrists, to satisfy RF exposure compliance. This

device is designed to be used in a person’s hands and its operating conﬁgu-

rations do not support normal transmissions while it is carried in pockets or

holsters next to a person’s body.

Control Center

To satisfy FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the device and its an-

tenna must maintain a separation distance of 20 cm or more from the person’s

body, except for the hand and wrists, to satisfy RF exposure compliance.

This device complies with the Industry Canada Radio Standards Speciﬁcation

RSS 210. Its use is authorized only on a no-interference, no-protection basis;

in other words, this device must not be used if it is determined that it causes

harmful interference to services authorized by IC. In addition, the user of this

device must accept any radio interference that may be received, even if this

interference could affect the operation of the device.

WARNING! Changes or modiﬁcations not expressly approved by the party re-

sponsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this device.

Warning! Safety First

Please read the safety warnings below before proceeding. Improper

use of the product may be dangerous or illegal.

Installation

Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be

performed by an authorized Directed dealer. If you have any questions, ask

your retailer or contact Directed directly at 1-800-753-0600.

Remote Start Capable

When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a command

signal from the remote control transmitter. Therefore, never operate the system

in an enclosed area or partially enclosed area without ventilation (such as a

garage). When parking in an enclosed or partially enclosed area or when

having the vehicle serviced, the remote start system must be disabled using the

installed menu wheel. It is the user’s sole responsibility to properly handle and

keep out of reach from children all remote control transmitters to assure that the

system does not unintentionally remote start the vehicle. THE USER MUST IN-

STALL A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN OR ABOUT THE LIVING AREA

ADJACENT TO THE VEHICLE. ALL DOORS LEADING FROM ADJACENT LIV-

ING AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PARTIALLY ENCLOSED VEHICLE STOR-

AGE AREA MUST AT ALL TIMES REMAIN CLOSED. These precautions are the

sole responsibility of the user.

Manual Transmission Vehicles

Remote starters on manual transmission vehicles operate differently than

those with automatic transmission because you must leave your car in neutral.

You must read this Owner’s Guide to familiarize yourself with the proper proce-

dures regarding manual transmission remote starters. If you have any questions,

ask your authorized Directed dealer or contact Directed at 1-800-753-0600.

Before remote starting a manual transmission vehicle, be sure to:

• Leave the vehicle in neutral and be sure no one is standing in front or

behind the vehicle.

• Only remote start on a ﬂat surface

• Have the parking brake fully engaged

WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure the parking/emer-

gency brake properly functions. Failure to do so can result in personal injury or

property damage. We recommend the owner have the parking / emergency

brake system inspected and adjusted by a qualiﬁed automotive shop biannu-

ally.

Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode of operation may

result in property damage, personal injury, or death. (1) Never remotely start

the vehicle with the vehicle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle

with the keys in the ignition. The user must also have the neutral safety feature

of the vehicle periodically checked, wherein the vehicle must not remotely start

while the car is in gear. This testing should be performed by an authorized

Directed dealer in accordance with the Safety Check outlined in the product

installation guide. If the vehicle starts in gear, cease remote start operation im-

mediately and consult with the authorized Directed dealer to ﬁx the problem.

After the remote start module has been installed, contact your authorized dealer

to have him or her test the remote start module by performing the Safety Check

outlined in the product installation guide. If the vehicle starts when performing

the Neutral Safety Shutdown Circuit test, the remote start unit has not been

properly installed. The remote start module must be removed or the installer

must properly reinstall the remote start system so that the vehicle does not start

in gear. All installations must be performed by an authorized Directed dealer.

OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE STARTS IN

GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF OPERATION. OPER-

ATING THE REMOTE START SYSTEM UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAY

RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY. YOU MUST IMME-

DIATELY CEASE THE USE OF THE UNIT AND SEEK THE ASSISTANCE OF

AN AUTHORIZED Directed DEALER TO REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE IN-

STALLED REMOTE START MODULE. DIRECTED WILL NOT BE HELD RESPON-

SIBLE OR PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.

This product is designed for fuel injected vehicles only. Use of this

product in a standard transmission vehicle must be in strict accordance

with this guide.

This product should not be installed in any convertible vehicles, soft or

hard top with a manual transmission. Installation in such vehicles may

pose certain risk.

Interference

All radio devices are subject to interference which could affect proper

performance.

Upgrades and Batteries

Any upgrades to this product and/or installation of batteries must be

performed by an authorized dealer. Do not attempt to perform any

unauthorized modiﬁcations to this product.

Water/Heat Resistance

This product is not designed to be water and/or heat-resistant. Please

take care to keep this product dry and away from heat sources. Any-

damage from water or heat will void the warranty.
